Consent Agenda Item
DATE: April 30, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Katey Schmidt, Senior Planner
THROUGH: Amy Nilsen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Ratification of Amended Resolution No. 2026-07 — State Community Development Block Grant Program, 2025 Funding Year
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommend that the City Council:
1. Ratify the amended Resolution No. 2026-07, approving the submission of the City’s State Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application under the 2025 Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA); and
2. Confirm that the amendments reflect updated resolution requirements issued by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and are nonmaterial and do not change the City Council’s previously authorized projects, funding amounts, or policy direction.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On March 16, 2026, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2026‑07 authorizing submission of a State CDBG application for the 2025 funding year. Following Council action, staff received updated clarification from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) regarding required resolution language and structure necessary for application acceptance.
The amended resolution incorporates HCD‑required changes related to:
• Change the language designating the authorized representative in Section 5 of Resolution 2026-07 from “City Manager” to “Mayor”.
The amendments are administrative and technical in nature, and were made to ensure application eligibility and compliance, and do not modify the projects approved by Council, the funding amounts authorized, or the intent or substance of the original Council action.
On April 28, 2026, the California Department of Housing and Community Development notified the City of the need for the minor change, hence why ratification of the non-material changes to the resolution are necessary.
Consent Agenda Item 3a
Staff are requesting Council ratification of the amended resolution to ensure a clear legislative record and continued compliance with State CDBG requirements.
